Hi xando05. If I am not mistaken, the selling price that you were quoted for this truck appears to be below dealer invoice. That is a very good deal. Just make sure that the dealer you are working with uses the '07 RX 350's buy rate lease money factor of .00175 to calculate your vehicle's monthly payment and you're in business.

Welcome aboard markish. I also came up with $512.10 per month, but I usually just round up payments to the nearest whole dollar amount when posting them in the forums.

Hi val3ntin3s. It is likely going to be fairly expensive for you to get out of your ES 300 lease now if it is not scheduled to expire until April of next year. If I was in your situation, I would wait until I was closer to the scheduled end date of my current lease to get something new. If were to lease a base 2007 RX 350 AWD through Lexus Financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value would be .00175 and 56%, respectively assuming that you qualify for its "Tier 1+" credit tier. The numbers for an otherwise identical 48 month lease should be .00175 and 47%. LFS base lease acquisition fee is currently $600. I don't believe that it charges a disposition fee.

Is this a good deal ? by mxv2003

Thanks Car_Man. Great service your performing and best site I've seen on the web so far.
 
Is this a good offer?
 
2007 RX350 AWD w/ NAV
MSRP $45683
Sell price $40450
MF .00185
Residual 58%
12K lease/36mons
Monthly $501.75
Tax upfront(7%) $1320.06
Due at signing: $2898.51
 
The Money Factor from LFS on this board is .00175, but the dealer is quoting .00185 for LFS. The numbers don't add up when I plug into my lease calculator. $501.75 sounds too low.
 
I'll be heading into the lion's den tonight so if anyone has any advice, please post ASAP.
 
Thanks.

What's wrong with this picture? by jack1963

Hi.
 
My local Lexus dealer gave me the following figures for a 2007 RX350 FWD, premium plus, navigation, heated seats, 18-inch tires:
 
MSRP: $44,306
Sell Price: $42,100 +TTL = $45,030
36 month/12K lease
Monthly choices: $780 with $0 down, 1st month due at signing; or $699 with $2641 down plus 1st month's payment
 
No other details were given (MF, residual). This seems way off from the other lease offers I am seeing here.
 
Can someone help me figure out what is going on with this deal??
 
Thanks!

What is wrong with that is the sell price. people have been getting 41,200 or even lower.
 
the formula is pretty simple
 
Take the sell price + residual factor ( in your case 58% of the MSRP) then times that by the money factor .00175 if you have Tier 1+ credit (about a 730 or higher) if you have Tier 1 then you use a money factor of .00185.
 
Ok, you take that number then
 
take the sell price minus the residual factor divided by 36
 
add the two numbers together and then you have your lease basic cost.
 
If you say put 2500 down, you are basically subtracted from sell price. so if it was 42,000 for example, now you put in 39,500.
 
So, the sale price will dictate a lot.
 
it took me 5 or 6 dealers to finally get a price that I liked.

Thanks for the quick reply and good info.
 
Am I doing something wrong with the math? I come up with about $571 as a monthly payment with $0 down (based on the figures given) rather than $780 using Tier 1+ credit.
 
If I am figuring it right, my Lexus dealer would seem to be making a nice profit on such a deal.
 
Thanks again!

Working on Leasing a new 2007 RX350...FWD, Premium+, NAV
MSRP: 44,125
3Yr/15K
Residual: 57%
MF: 1.2% (I didn't understand what this meant)
 
Went to the dealership, found the car, and tried to negotiate with the dealer, but he said he would not negotiate the purchase price of a leased vehicle. I then got an email from him reiterating his stance (added below). Looking for 1) How to respond 2) what a good target for negotiating price would be 3) what 1.2% meant for the money factor.
Thanks for any help....chad

Good morning Chad,
 
I thank you for your correspondenceand hope you had a nice weekend.
 
I am a bit confused on your intent because leasing is all about payment becuase you are not purchasing the vehicle, the bank is.

I just leased my RX350 FWD Premium with Navi in Miami.
Here's the deal I got over the internet.
 
MSRP: $44,125
Cap cost: $39,500
Residual: 57%
MF: .00175
Terms: 36mo/12K
Lease: $539/mo with $800 inception cost
 
I don't know if it was a good deal but that's the best I found down here in south Florida. I just wanted to post my numbers because it helped so much reading this thread. Is the calculations correct. For some reason when I did it, it was different from the Lexus finance guy (on his computer).
